I checked with my attorney, she there is possiblity of it getting approved but there is risk also.

In progressive experience I meet even the experience criteria if I include all my work experience prior to me passing the degree. could this work experience be used.

is that spell mistake on purpose or on unavailability cause?

this is a little bit off topic, but does anyway know what are the requirements for practicing immigration law in the US? What kind of formal training and bar exam passing etc are needed?

With the extensive practice that USCIS has provided us, atleast in EB matters I think for most of us it will be a cakewalk. Having gone through the process ourselves we also understand how to treat the immigrant (frequent updates, clear answers, be accessible, provide all options and information) and some of us could make very good immi lawyers (once we get our EADs).

My friends recommending me that too. I should do law instead of doing MBA. Not a bad idea.;)

No...to serve in armed forces u just need GC..infact there are several hispanic green card holders who have died in Iraq and have been awarded citizenship posthumously..

Hi
I planning to use AC 21 from Next week, I plan to call my parents in July 2008, What should I mention as my Immigration Status in Invitation letter.

As I will not be on H1B and neither I have Green Card ?

Mention you are in I-485 adjustment status. Thats the truth...good luck.

I guess, you need to enter the "Received Date" that is on your last I-765 receipt Notice.

Hello,
I have been looking an answer on this forum for the date that we enter for the Question # 11 on the I765 form:

Question: Have you ever before applied for the employment autherization from USCIS?

My question is on the date that we have to enter here:

Should I enter the CARD VALID FROM DATE on my EAD card?
Should I enter the RECEIVED DATE on the I485 receipt?
Should I enter the NOTICE DATE on the I485 receipt?

I looked on this forum, and there is seem to be confusion around this date..can someone please clarify...

Thank you.

Congrats man...what date did you do the resubmit?

I've received an answer in the WPF forum :

I am planning to go to Canada for H1B visa stamping. Will there be any problem if i have company on H1B. I opened in 2003 and My friend is working in that company. I am working for my employer only. Will there be any problem if i have company either in GC stage or getting Visa in Canada.

Thx

It's only IV members. We did decide on few things last time, We have some new ideas, to talk. Obviously we need more people to carry on with the efforts...There are several private bills that are being placed in the queue as well as I see a separate bill for foreign nurses is coming up for discussion, we I feel we should talk to our lawmakers to bail us out of the EB-3/EB-2 India/china messWho other than IV is expected or invited in this call? Do we have any agenda, or just a brain storming?

Hi All,

Earlier USCIS has announced a fee hike from this month end. Ideally they should extend that fee hike till Aug 17th.

Anyone got any clues?

Thank You

Here is the update from USCIS:

http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22912

As per the memo, they accept I-485, EAD and AP applications with old fee till 08/17

I recently started work with a new employer using my EAD. I have a pending RFE on my 485 which I have to respond to in a couple of weeks. However, today I noticed that my 485 got a soft LUD of the day following the day I started with my new employer. My new employer uses eVerify but I didnt expect that it could be linked with a pending 485. Maybe I am wrong but I see no reason for the USCIS to touch my 485 until I have responded to the RFE.

Has anyone else noticed something similar when you started with a new employer using eVerify?

ha ha ha....well said...


ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market

First of all, is your profile legitimate? It shows your PD as Dec'07 / EB3/India and you are in 485 processing??????

anyway, as long as some fools doesn't admit the facts and realize the changing world, all those forums / blogs / hatred etc; will be just a waste of their time. ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market.

A friend of mine has PhD in aeronautics from a top tier university here in US. He will be soon starting teaching in a university and planning to file his GC under EB-1.
Are there any risks in getting I-140 approved under EB-1? or just having a PhD does not automatically qualify anyone under EB-1 category.?
Since he is born in India so reluctant to file under EB-2 due to endless wait.

Generally, Just having a Phd degree is not enough to file for EB1. Every case is different, sometimes, it depends on the field of study also - so, consulting an experienced attorney is recommended.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Effective January 21, 2010, the Department of Labor's iCERT online system will be updated to allow the submission of electronic prevailing wage determination requests. This electronic process will allow Employers and/or their Designated Representatives to submit and obtain prevailing wage determinations (PWD) for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-1C, H-2B, E-3 (Australia), and permanent labor certification programs through the iCERT portal.

Until January 21, 2010, all prevailing wage determination requests must continue to be submitted by U.S. Mail or comparable physical delivery service to the Washington, D.C. address listed below.

BACKGROUND - On December 19, 2008, the Department published a Final Rule addressing the Labor Certification Process and Enforcement for Temporary Employment in Occupations Other Than Agriculture or Registered Nursing in the United States (H-2B Workers), and Other Technical Changes. The Final Rule implemented a federalized process for obtaining PWD requests for use in the H-2B temporary nonagricultural labor certification program directly from the Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) appropriate National Processing Center (NPC)--which was designated as the Chicago NPC.

Furthermore, effective as of January 1, 2010, the Final Rule also federalized PWD for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-1C, E-3 (Australia), and the permanent labor certification programs.

Requestors must submit PWD requests using the Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, Form ETA-9141 (http://www.h1bvisalawyerblog.com/Prevailing%20wage%20Request%20FORM.pdf).

Requestors must submit PWD requests to the NPWHC by U.S. Mail or comparable physical delivery service at the following address until January 21, 2010 when electronic means are available:
U.S. Department of Labor-ETA, National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center,
Attn: PWD Request:
1341 G Street, NW
Suite 201
Washington, DC 20005-3142

In summary, State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) and the Chicago NPC no longer accept and process PWD requests received on and after January 1, 2010. All PWD Requests submitted on and after 1/1/2010 must be centralized and processed at the DOL Washington, D.C. office until electronic means are available on January 21, 2010.

Thanks Surabhi

If you are Canadian Citizen (by birth not naturalized) it should be pretty quick, maybe 6-18 months depending on FBI name check timing.

You should get your EAD 10-12 weeks.

I am not sure about one thing. As I know visitor visa doesn't have an immigrant intent, is that a negative or neutral in your instance.

As far as priority dates go Canada has always been current.

All the above I said is based on very little specific input about your case. Let some guru chime in who has been on this path already.

Hi,
I am a green card holder via the DV program of 2007 and my husband is on student visa. We had entered US individually prior to our marriage. Our marriage took place back in Nepal in 2008 and considering the long waiting period for the dates to become current, I didn't file I-130 for my husband immediately after our marrigage thinking that we would wait for my citizenship. But now seeing the advancement in the current dates for Family based visa, I would like to file the I-130 for my husband. Please advise what my best bet would be? Wait until I get my citizenship or file now? Also if I file now, how long might it take for him to get his EAD and GC?
Can I file the I-130 form on my own for would need to get a lawyer for that. Currenlty we are in Seattle, Washington.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

What you did is a mistake. No need to wait for citizenship. You can upgrade the petition any time.
NOW FOR BRINGING SPOUSE FOR GC HOLDERS IS SIX MONTHS.
SO RUSH TO FILE I-130 FOR HIM. IF HE IS HERE, FILE I-485, WHEN THE DATE BECOME CURRENT (AFTER 6 MONTHS), OR GO FOR CONSULAR PROCESS. NO NEED FOR A LAWYER FOR FAMILY BASED FILING. DOWNLOAD I-130 FORM WITH INSTRUCTIONS, FILLUP AND SEND WITH MARRIAGE, BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. IF YOU CAN READ AND WRITE ENGLISH, YOU CAN FILL IT AND SEND IT.

Not really that will be the last bill on immigration, if we want anything done.. we have to attache recapture(some how) to dream act or else...just continue to wait...

This is good news. Once Dream act for undocumented is out. Then they will take up bills for H1Bs.

We will not see any approvals unless we act togther and campaign for our cause. Please join us. More details at
